Oak Theatre & Studios paid partnership
DBY Interactive murder mystery shows urge you to move beyond your role as spectator and play the role of detective!
You can immerse yourself in this fun experience at Oak Theatre & Studios near Southport on Sunday 25th October 2026, at The Crown Duels! Murder Mystery Show with a delicious meal and a fun and unique event.
Born in Liverpool 2015, DBY Interactive was created to break the tired stereotype of ‘Murder Mysteries’ – ‘we wanted to refresh this theatre genre. With our unique DBY Interactive theatre formula we have developed through a decade of experience, that offers optional levels of interactivity. We have created theatre that is both exciting and empowering.’
DBY Interactive shows transcend from the traditional theatrical experience of playing spectator to inviting audiences to become active participants in the story.
You have the option of sitting back and enjoying the show, or you can spot clues, evidence and the liars to solve the crime.
A DBY spokesperson said:
“Proof of this is in the fantastic venues we collaborate with. Throughout our journey we have created strong relationships with some incredible theatres and unique spaces: The Everyman & Playhouse, Liverpool, The Storyhouse, Chester, The Floral Pavillion, New Brighton, Shakespeare North The Cockpit Theatre, Prescot, Caffi Isa, Mold, as well as Fred Olsen and P&O Cruise Ships.
“Making DBY Interactive the leading Theatre Company in Murder Mystery Shows in the Northwest.
“And now, our newest venue, Oak Theatre and Studios at Scarisbrick Hall – Oak Theatre and Studios. DBY Interactive are thrilled to be debuting at The Oak Theatre on Sunday 25th October 2026.
